Chapter 69 Framed
Yi Chongyuan was really angry. She had a stomachache at night.
Call the imperial physician overnight.
However, she couldn't just say that she was mad at Shen Chuliu.
The concubines in the Queen's Palace quarreled every day, but the Emperor never punished anyone for it.
So Yi Chongyuan couldn't say anything at all.
After two or three days, they came out to pay respects again. Yi Chongyuan suddenly said, "The weather is very good today. Let's sit in the imperial garden. Concubine Ning, Lady Jing, Lady Li, and Lu Xiaoyi, how about you all come together?"
Shen Chuliu knew in her heart that this was a plot against her, but she did not try to hide. Although she dodged this time, she didn't know what tricks the next one would use.
"That's good."
Everyone was worried, but Shen Chuliu agreed. Anyone who didn't go would seem cowardly.
Everyone went to the Imperial Garden. It was March, the peach blossoms had just bloomed, and there was pink mist everywhere.
Peach blossoms are beautiful, so many of them are planted in the imperial garden.
They sat in a pavilion, looking at the flowers and trees around them and talking.
While chatting about daily life, everyone was worried, after all, Yi Chongyuan was pregnant.
Although it has been seven months, if something unexpected happens, no one can escape responsibility.
Shen Chuliu was drinking tea and sitting in a corner.
It’s not that I’m avoiding Yi Chongyuan, but I’m looking further here.
Yi Chongyuan suddenly said, "I was impulsive a few days ago. We are sisters, please don't mind, Miss Jing. Hey, I am also impatient. In fact, my temper is similar to yours."
Yi Chongyuan spoke very politely, which made people feel that she knew Jing Meiren's current status and was willing to make friends with her.
"What did Empress Chongyuan say? It was just a few casual words before, why would I care? Today, the Empress called me, didn't I come right away?"
"That's good. Well, I won't lie to you. Although we women are not allowed to be jealous, sometimes I envy you. Sometimes my words are a little harsh. Sisters, don't take it too seriously. We will live in the palace for a long time, and we sisters will live together for the rest of our lives." Yi Chongyuan smiled and said, "Come, have a sip of tea, just consider it a respect from your elder sister."
Everyone took the glass and took a sip out of respect.
Here, Shen Chuliu was being refilled with tea by Yi Chongyuan's maid Ye Xin.
With Chi Su watching him, Ye Xin didn't dare to do anything.
However, if one intends to harm people, then it will definitely be done.
Yi Chongyuan invited them today, naturally knowing that Qi Yixiu was coming to the Imperial Garden.
Yi Chongyuan has been favored for so many years and has a child, so it is not difficult for her to find out this little information.
So when her eunuch winked at her outside the pavilion, Lianxin already knew it.
Firstly, she was one of the nine concubines, and secondly, she was pregnant, so she would naturally not go out with only one person.
At this moment, Lian Xin moved her hand slightly, and Ye Xin, who was standing beside Shen Chuliu, poured more tea for Shen Chuliu.
He just stumbled and saw a pot of hot tea about to hit Shen Chuliu.
Chi Su moved very quickly and knocked the boiling hot teapot off balance with just one slap.
The teapot slipped out of his hand and flew out of the pavilion, making crackling sounds.
Shen Chuliu couldn't help but stand up. She wasn't a deity, so she couldn't be distracted by Yi Chongyuan's approach at this time.
So I subconsciously pushed her away.
"Jing Meiren, what are you doing!"
"Oh, is Empress Yi Chongyuan okay?"
"Sister Yi!"
"Master, Master!"
Qi Yixiu watched the teapot break into pieces and walked up to the pavilion, where he saw such a chaotic scene. Regardless of whether he saw it clearly or not, it was easy for him to form an impression at the first moment of what Lady Jing had done to Yi Chongyuan.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yixiu frowned.
Yi Chongyuan held Concubine Ning's hand and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, it was...it was Concubine Jing who pushed me. I was startled."
"Yes, I saw it too." Lu Xiaoyi said in a low voice.
"How is Yi Chongyuan? Do we need to call a royal physician?" Qi Yixiu asked as he sat down.
"I do have a stomachache. I think it's nothing serious." Yi Chongyuan said.
"Lady Jing, what do you say?" Qi Yixiu looked unhappy.
Shen Chuliu took a deep breath and knelt down: "Your Majesty, it was indeed me who pushed Lady Yi Chongyuan."
This answer surprised Qi Yixiu, but he was willing to listen to her explanation: "Why?"
"I guess Jing Meiren didn't mean to..."
"Shut up!" Qi Yixiu interrupted Lu Xiaoyi: "Shut up, did I tell you to?"
Lu Xiaoyi knelt down hurriedly: "I know I was wrong."
"Your Majesty, I certainly didn't mean it." Shen Chuliu glanced at the kneeling Lu Xiaoyi with a half-smile, and then continued: "It turned out that Madam Yi Chongyuan's maid slipped and a pot of boiling tea almost fell on me. In a hurry, I didn't expect Madam Yi Chongyuan to come over."
"How could Lady Jing slander me? It was clearly you who tripped me." Ye Xin said in a low voice.
"Really? Then I probably want to disfigure myself?" Shen Chuliu looked at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin didn't dare to say anything.
"Miss Li, you go ahead." Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty, I couldn't see clearly where I was sitting just now. We are just drinking tea, not wine. Ye Xin, you are so eager to add tea, which makes Jing Meiren's servants seem redundant. Besides, although it is Empress Yi Chongyuan who invites us to drink tea today, there is no need to add tea so diligently."
It seemed like she said nothing, but in fact she said everything.
Seeing that Qi Yixiu looked bad, Yi Chongyuan didn't dare to say anything. She just held her stomach, her face pale.
"Lady Jing, you are confined for half a month." Qi Yixiu stood up and said, "Lu Xiaoyi is spreading rumors, so you are confined for a month."
"Yi Chongyuan, go back and recuperate, and don't go out too much before giving birth."
"Yes." Yi Chongyuan's heart beat faster.
"I obey your command." Lu Xiaoyi's face was also pale.
Shen Chuliu's expression remained calm: "I obey your order."
After standing up, Shen Chuliu said, "I don't blame Empress Chongyuan today, but I have something to say. Please allow me, Your Majesty."
"explain."
Qi Yixiu's expression was still ugly, and it didn't get any uglier because Shen Chuliu wanted to speak.
"When Sister Cao was pregnant, she didn't know how to cherish it. So after she miscarried, the emperor punished her for not protecting the fetus well. Everyone in the harem wants to have an heir. It is a great blessing to have an heir. If you can't protect it well, you are guilty. Today, Empress Chongyuan was so careless, and it was fortunate that the heir was in the advanced stage. If it was not in the advanced stage, although I didn't mean to do it, I would have been too harsh. What do you think, Empress?"
"I am just a beautiful woman. Even if I am sentenced to death, it cannot make up for the crime of damaging the royal heir. At that time, Empress Chongyuan will also be guilty."
After saying this, she bowed again and said, "I will take my leave now. I will go back and reflect on my mistakes."
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, and Shen Chuliu didn't say anything else. He held Chi Su's hand and walked down the pavilion, straightened his back and walked out of Qi Yixiu's sight.
He looked at the back for a long time and suddenly thought that the woman was actually quite thin.
